Understanding Optimal Wake-up Times

Why Wake-up Time Matters

Your wake-up time affects your entire day's energy levels, mood, and performance. Waking up at the wrong time in your sleep cycle can leave you feeling groggy and tired, even after a full night's sleep.

Sleep Cycle Science

Sleep occurs in cycles of approximately 90 minutes, progressing through light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep. Waking up during light sleep phases feels more natural and refreshing than waking during deep sleep.
